Wedding shoe help!!!

[SR22]

Hi everyone!!! I was hoping you lovely ladies (and gents!) might be able to help me with a lil' dilemma...

I'm on the hunt for wedding shoes , with a couple challenges to the situation:
1) My dress is not white, so it's a challenging color to match; and
2) I have difficult feet... wide feet + very narrow heel (so no pumps--my heel always comes out of them and i trip).

Here is what my ideal shoe would be:
*4-5"+
*strapped-in and secure over the top of the foot or ankle.

Here is my dress :

Any suggestions??? (does not have to be CL--I am open to ANYthing at this point!)

Ok, it sounds like you want a.... bootie???

Hmm..... No pumps... Can you do a slingback?

 

[SR22]

Hi Jenay! Hmm, I feel like a bootie wouldn't be formal enough. My heel usually falls out of slingbacks too.

I know this is a tough one!

 

[jenayb]

I agree, and that is what I was thinking about when I said bootie.

Oh! What about...

Beautiful dress! When I see it, I have visions of champagne Annees Folles...

Here is the linky to a pair on ebay for pics:

BUT, the toe area is still enclosed, and the ankle strap probably isn't the most secure! Oh well I tried.

Congrats on the wedding, and best wishes finding the perfect shoe!

Or this...? It looks like it has good coverage on the top of the foot...

Hi Tampura & thank you! Those CL's are gorgeous and the color is dead-on!!! But alas, I think you're right and the ankle strap doesn't seem so secure. Fooey! :shame:

I like these, and dangit I love YSL!!

Yes, I suggest trying on the Canon as I think it would be just what you are looking for! Congrats on your big day!

 

[SR22]

Aww, thanks Jenay!

 

[SR22]

Oh & also... If anyone knows of somewhere that can make a fantastic custom shoe as well, pretty-please let me know!! That may be a fitting solution for my unfriendly-feet too

 

[jenayb]

^^ How much are you looking to spend? CL does SO's...

 

[SR22]

Uh-oh!!! :tispy:

I'm not sure really... I never thought the shoes would run more than about $1500 or so? But if there really is nothing else... :devil:

Any idea how much they run & how long they take?
